Domestic Violence Fatality Review Teams - Ensuring Culturally Specific Responses
Victims of domestic violence from marginalized communities face additional barriers when trying to access safety and justice. These cases require culturally specific responses to help break through these barriers and ensure justice prevails.
Through our Ensuring Culturally Specific Responses (ECSR) Project, we provide training and technical assistance to local, state, and tribal governments about implementing or improving domestic violence fatality review teams (DVFRT) who are informed by culturally specific responses.
Our DVFRT-ECSR Project services include:
- Monthly office hours every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month
- Listening sessions with DVFRTs and communities of color
- Webinars on topics relevant to DVFRTs
- Training and technical assistance to local and state DVFRTs
- Information and resources for DVFRTs on an interactive website

We have compiled a comprehensive list of useful resources for DVFRT-ECSR to assist those in positions of leadership to be culturally responsive when dealing with incidences of domestic violence.
